Celtics (28-36) at Pacers (30-34) Game#65 3/14/15

[greece66]

We need to go 12-5 to finish .500 this season.  Think we can pull it off?

Also, how much money is Rondo losing over these past few months?  Dallas has been worse.  Boston has clearly been better.  His stats are dreadful.  Dude was expecting 100 mil.  Good luck with that.

We almost certainly lose against SAS, OKC and Cleveland, but the remaining 14 games are winnable. It's not easy, but it is possible, i'd say it's 40-60.

Crowder was a spark on this team. He came in with an anti-TANK attitude.

Important win.  Team is getting tougher.

We're 13-7 since beginning of February I think, and since we're pretty much an entirely different team since the beginning of the season I don't see whether or not we finish at .500 mattering in any way.

Question: If this team + IT coming back started the season over, what would our record be? Would we be ahead of the Bucks?

Philly - W
OKC - L
SAS - L
Pistons - W
Nets - W
Heat - W
Knicks - W
Clippers - L
Hornets - W
Pacers - W
Bucks - W
Raptors - L
Pistons - W
Cavs - L
Cavs - W
Raptors -W
Bucks - W

That'll be tough, but it's doable. I say closer to 11-6 or 10-7. I bet we'll knock off one of the L's I have and lose a couple of the W's.

I'm gonna guess we go 6-11.

That's tough. I can see maybe 10 wins right now.

We've gone 3-0 without IT definitely would not have bet money on that... CBS needs to be in the COY discussion

No Rondo, no Green...

CBS has this team working hard.

I watch the games and I don't know how the C's finish the game with more points.

Okay let me break it down. You see those hoops with nets at each end of the court, when a team puts the ball in ... oh never mind you wont get it. LOL

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

3 players had 16 and Big Z lead the way with 18!!!



One more thing, EVERY PLAYER that played (except Z) had at least 1 assist! 0.0

I think we'll at the worst go 9-8.  The last three games are against good teams, but they're playoff locks and those teams will likely rest their starters or at least restrict their minutes, so those games should be easier to win.  Heck we might rest people too if we're in the playoffs, but something tells me it's going to be a dogfight for that 8th seed.

[Ogaju]

YOU MEAN we didn't have Rondo hugging the ball throughout the shot clock so he could get all the assists?

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

How often does 9 of 10 players who played get an assist? I bet it has to be rare.

[Tr1boy]

we stopped the Pacers 7 game winning streak today

This team is playoff bound unless something crazy happens.

The only team I don't have much confidence in beating is the Cavs.

[Surferdad]

IMO, besides IT, a key acquisition on this team was Crowder. Another willing defender to go with Smart and Bradley. Now, at times you have 3 strong defenders in the game at the same time.

Agree, but also using that TPE to get Zeller. He may not be the answer long term, but he is a true center which helped put other guys in more natural positions.

Yes he was.  It all started with him.

What is really happening here is the other team is not scoring as many points.
